San Lorenzo de Almagro suffered a painful 2-0 defeat against Huracán at Nuevo Gasómetro on Sunday, in a match for the fourth round of the 2026 Clausura Tournament.

League standing (final 2025 table -- new season not yet under way): 5th in Liga Profesional Argentina, 24 pts, 6W-6D-4L from 16 games, recent form DDWWL.
Huracán dominated the game from the start, with Caicedo opening the score in the first half and sealing the victory in the second.
